All this as the news carries the story that FIFA won't let England, Scotland and Wales wear a poppy over the armistice period. I hate to say it, but my disdain transcends the love of my football club.

Football clubs can wear them, blue. We're governed by our FA and Premier League. It's the national teams that cannot. Just making a wider point that they don't like us as a nouveau riche club, or our nations as a whole really. Brexit hasn't eased this. I only voted leave Europe because of our disgraceful treatment in the Eurovision Song Contest!What they gonna do if we did wear them? fine us?

Before you say anything Manchester City did not enter the Eurovision Song Contest, and were therefore not denied the opportunity to wear a poppy in May.

Maybe after last nights officiating Pep will have a better understanding of why we boo.
As Martin Samuel pointed out Pep has previously only worked at EUEFA favoured clubs.

When we were 1-0 down and that Hungarian crook was screwing us over at every opportunity, I thought "That's it. No more CL for me after this season." Then we got back into it and I obviously thoroughly enjoyed the match and the result. But I still hate the bent competition, run by the bent UEFA, reffed by bent officials and played by diving, whingeing cheats. Had that been the PL, with us plying the rags, Chelsea or Liverpool, the decibel level would have been much higher.

Boooo
And looking at our players smirking during the booing on Tuesday I think they'd do the same.
